Pretty soon it will beback to school for our oneyear old school system.Funny how in your life theautumn, which has been a

time of ending and harvest,has actually become a sea-son of new beginnings. Allyour life through thegrades up through college,Fall means the beginning ofa new year.

During those academicyears, you meet a lot offolks both good and bad -growing up means youbegin the sense the differ-ence and move in a positivedirection.

To guide you in thatdirection are your teachers.If you’re lucky, you’ll meetsome great teachers whom

you’ll remember all yourlife.

In high school, Mr.Aurelio Mora taught meEnglish with the humani-ties mixed in. We studiedliterature mixed with poet-ry and opera. Mr. Moraspoke several languagesand had a box at theMetropolitan Opera inNew York where heattended opera. He wouldexplain the operas andtranslate what the ariasmeant.

On another day hewould have me read aloud“The Miller’s Tale” whichis the bawdiest of theCanterbury Tales.

The important thingwas that Mr. Mora helpedus to understand the rolethat art plays in our lives.We are surrounded by it,and the internet has made

more great works of art, literature and music moreaccessible to all of us at little cost.

One of the ways Mr.Mora did this was the wayhe taught - with trueenthusiasm. Enthusiasmmeans literally to be “filled with the spirit” andthat’s a good way to lookat it.

Whether it’s art or anyaspect of life, successdepends on enthusiasm. I once heard a salesmansay, “When you’re on fireabout a project, people willcome from miles aroundjust to see the glow.”

As you begin this year -in school or not - findsomething to be enthusias-tic about - to glow about .Who knows? The rightpeople may come aroundjust to see the glow.

NEW PATIENTS ARE WELCOME!

The state’s annualback-to-school sales taxholiday will be held thefirst weekend in August,starting Friday, Aug. 1, at12:01 a.m. and ending onSunday, Aug. 3, at 12 midnight.

This will be the state’sninth annual back-to-school sales tax holiday.The three-day shoppingholiday was created in 2006to give parents and othershoppers an opportunity tobuy certain school-relateditems without the burdenof state sales or use tax.

According to the origi-nal act (Sales Tax HolidayAct No. 2006-574), the statewaives state sales or usetax on certain school-relat-ed items annually duringthe first full weekend ofAugust. It also gives coun-ties and municipalities anopportunity to participatein the holiday by waivinglocal sales or use tax aswell.

“BACK TO SCHOOL” SALES TAX HOLIDAY AUG.1-3Items covered by the act

include clothing ($100 orless, per article of clothing);computers, software andschool computer supplies (asingle purchase with a salesprice of $750 or less); schoolsupplies, school art suppliesand school instructionalmaterials (sales price of $50or less, per item); and books(with a sales price of $30 orless, per book).

Municipal sales tax willalso be waived for thosesame items, based on anordinance passed by theAlabaster City Council twoyears ago. The ordinance(Ordinance No. 12-005)exempted the covered items“during the first full week-end of August 2012 andeach consecutive year there-after.”

Clothing items not cov-ered include things that aresold separately, like beltbuckles, costume masks orpatches and emblems. Italso doesn’t include sports

or recreational equipment,like baseball gloves or shinguards.

In 2012, the State ofAlabama created a secondsales tax holiday, to assistshoppers with severe weath-er preparedness. That holi-day takes place the last fullweekend in February eachyear and exempts itemsrelated to emergency pre-paredness.

For more information,visit the AlabamaDepartment of Revenuewebsite at revenue.alaba-ma.gov. Click on the“Divisions” tab, followed bythe link for “Sales & UseTax.” On that page, there arelinks to pages about both theback-to-school holiday andthe severe weather prepared-ness holiday.

Alabaster City Schoolsrecently celebrated its one-year anniversary as a newschool system, and thoughit’s already accomplishedquite a lot, its biggestachievement may still beon the horizon.

At a specially-calledmeeting on May 19, theAlabaster City Board ofEducation unanimouslyvoted to authorizeSuperintendent Dr. WayneVickers to enter into anagreement to purchase realestate in Alabaster thatwould serve as the locationfor a new high school.

The undeveloped prop-

NEW HIGH SCHOOL ON THE HORIZON erty consists of approxi-mately 300 acres and islocated to the west of thecurrent Thompson HighSchool location. It sitsroughly between theSterling Gate subdivisionoff Thompson Road and theLake Forest subdivision offKent Dairy Road.

The size of the land islarge enough to accommo-date both a new high schoolas well as new athletic facil-ities, which the SchoolBoard intends to fund usinga planned $120 millionbond. The new facilities arepart of the Board’s five-year

capital plan, whichit approved inSeptember of lastyear.

At a June 23meeting, theAlabaster CityCouncil lent a sup-portive hand to theeffort when itvoted to extend its1-percent, school-related sales tax forthe next 30 years,the expected dura-tion of the schoolboard’s bond. Thesales tax was origi-

ANSWERING MEDICARE QUESTIONS BY REP. APRIL WEAVER

In my role as a legisla-tor, I often encounter seniorcitizens who have ques-tions about Medicare. I amin no way an expert in thisarea, but I have found aresource that can help youfind the answers. The StateHealth InsuranceAssistance Program (SHIP)is a free counseling serviceprovided by the Middle

Alabama Area Agency onAging (M4A). They canhelp you educate yourselfto navigate the challengesof Medicare.SHIP helps answer ques-tions about Medicare,Medicare SupplementalInsurance, MedicareAdvantage Plans, MedicarePart D (prescription drugcoverage), long-term careinsurance, and programs toassist with Part B and Part D premiums (theMedicare Savings Programand the Limited-IncomeSubsidy). SHIP providesfree, impartial informationto help consumers makedecisions regarding theirhealth care choices. Whena Medicare beneficiary hasa question about Medicarebenefits, the beneficiarymay contact the local SHIP

Representative April Weaver

at 205-670-5770 or 1-866-570-2998.During Open Enrollment(which starts October 15),SHIP has about two dozencommunity events inwhich SHIP counselorsmeet face-to-face with ben-eficiaries to provide helpwith plan enrollment andchanges. Usually, theSenioRx program (a pro-gram funded by theAlabama State Legislature)partners with SHIP forthese events since manyseniors, people with dis-abilities and Medicaid ben-eficiaries need medicationassistance.

M4A is particularlyinterested in outreach andeducation to seniors on thepreventive services offeredby Medicare because theseservices complement their

wellness program. M4Acurrently administers fourdifferent evidence-basedwellness programs whichare preventive and educa-tional, such as the ChronicDisease Self-ManagementProgram, the ArthritisFoundation ExerciseProgram, the ArthritisFoundation Walk with EaseProgram, and Tai Chidesigned to prevent falls.

If you are a senior citizen and you have questions about Medicare, Iencourage you to call theSHIP program at M4A. ASHIP counselor will helpyou be a wise consumer sothat you get the most out ofyour healthcare dollars.

As winner of the statetitle, Buttram will get tocompete in the nationalNAM pageant, which willbe held Nov. 25-30 inAnaheim, Calif.

“They have all the statepageants throughout theyear and then you competein November for thenational title,” said JoyLetson, Buttram’s mother.“They go to Hollywood,Calif., the week ofThanksgiving.”

The Alabama pageantwas divided into five dif-ferent age groups, withtitles being awarded forMiss Alabama Princess(ages 4-6), Miss AlabamaJunior Pre-Teen (ages 7-9),Miss Alabama Pre-Teen(ages 10-12), Miss AlabamaJunior Teen (ages 13-15)and Miss Alabama Teen(ages 16-18).

Buttram, who graduat-ed this year fromThompson High School,has participated in theannual pageant for tenyears. She previously wonstate titles as a Junior Pre-Teen and Pre-Teen.

“She’s done it for tenyears, so it’s been a greatthing to grow into,” saidLetson. “This will be her

excited by the win and theopportunity to return toCalifornia.

“It was amazing,because I’ve been in thepageant for so long. So it’scool to have this experi-ence to be able to go tonationals again,” saidButtram.

National AmericanMiss is a nationwide pag-eant program that pro-motes self-confidenceamong its participants. Inaddition to the variousawards that participantscan receive, they also gainvaluable speaking experi-ence in front of an audi-ence.

“It is a really goodorganization,” said Letson.“They base everything onyour interview skills,speaking, formal wear andcommunity service. Theystrive to build personalskills up.”

According to Letson,the pageant will pay forButtram’s airfare toCalifornia and the pageantfees to compete at thenational competition.She’ll still need to raisemoney for the event,which she plans to do byselling chances to win apair of original drawingsshe’ll be doing this sum-mer.

Construction crewshave begun site work for anew Aldi at the intersectionof U. S. Highway 31 andCounty Road 11. This storewill be the second store forthe chain in Shelby Countyand make a total of eight inthe Birmingham metropoli-tan area. Construction ofthe Alabaster Aldi shouldbe completed in the latterportion of 2014, just in timefor that holiday shopping.Access to the retailer willbe allowed from U. S.Highway 31 and CountyRoad 11. Cam Ward,Executive Director of theAlabaster IndustrialDevelopment Board, saysthat the Alabaster storeshould be around 24,000square feet.Representatives from Aldiare working with the

ALDI FOOD MARKET CHOOSES ALABASTER LOCATION Shelby CountyCommission to improvethe intersection of thecounty road with Highway31 during the constructionproject.

Aldi Food Markets arean international corpora-tion with stores in seven-teen countries. Their mis-sion is “simply smartershopping” which givesthem a different look frommore traditional U. S. gro-cery retailers. Aldi onlycarries a limited number ofname brand products thatmay be recognizable toAlabaster shoppers.Instead, they rely heavilyon their own store brandsin order to pass significantsavings to the customer.Other cost saving measuresused by Aldi include rent-ing shopping carts for a

quarter and requiringshopper to bring their ownshopping bags.

Customers bringingtheir own bags not onlysaves cost but also helpsthe environment which isone of the goals promotedby Aldi. The 25 cent rentalfee for shopping carts isrefunded when the cus-tomer returns the cart tothe cart corral.

Aldi is a full servicegrocer with dry goods,produce, and fresh meats.In May of 2014, theylaunched a new gluten-freeline of products calledLiveGfree. The LiveGfreeline was tested in selectstores and will have a com-panywide roll out later thisyear. In 2013, Aldilaunched SimplyNaturewhich features foods made

with all-natural or organicingredients. This was fol-lowed by another line in2013 of Specially Selectedbrand which includes prod-ucts such as German cof-fees and gourmet pastasand cheeses. The new con-cepts in business practiceswhich results in cost sav-ings to the consumer willbe a welcome addition toour Alabaster retail family.For more information onAldi and to view theirweekly specials, visitwww.aldi.us .

“We have growers fromaround the area,” saidColeman, who will bemanaging the market. “Ithink our furthest farmproducer is out of Eclectic,and that is pork. He raiseshis own pigs and then hasthose processed.”

CHUBBS GRUB STATION WINS AWARD Chubb’s Grub Station

in Alabaster was recentlyhonored with a SmallBusiness of the Yearaward by the GreaterShelby County Chamberof Commerce. TheChamber presented theaward at a June 25 awardsluncheon held at thePelham Civic Complexand Ice Arena in Pelham.

“This was our secondsmall business awardsprogram,” said GSCCCPresident Kirk Mancer in aJuly 9 interview. “Westarted it last year. Thepurpose of it relates backto the business develop-ment and support aspectof our Shelby One five-year strategic plan.”

At the June 25 lunch-eon, the Chamber recog-nized four small business-es in categories based on

the size of their businesses. “We had a total of 35

nominees in the variouscategories,” said Mancer.“There were four recipients,one in each category. Thosewere based upon the num-ber of employees that acompany has.”

According to Mancer,the winners were selectedby a panel of judges, whichincluded a banker, an attor-ney and an accountant.

“Once they were nomi-nated, they were then askedto provide some informa-tion,” said Mancer. “(Thejudges) reviewed the infor-mation that the nomineessubmitted, and based uponthat information, they thenmade a determination as towho the recipient was ineach category.”

The awards luncheon,which was sponsored by

good, fresh, American“grub,” like hamburgersand French fries.

“I won’t serve yousomething frozen,”Cholewinski said in aMarch interview. “I won’tserve you something outof a can.”

“These were businessesthat were nominated fromall over the county. Youdid not have to be a cur-rent Chamber member tobe nominated, so it trulywas an open opportunity,”said Mancer.

NEW HIGH SCHOOL nally added in 2011 as away to help fund the newlyformed school district.Now it will be used torepay the bond issue, aswell as “other publicschool purposes.”

Ordinance No. 14-006,which can be found onlineat the City of Alabasterwebsite(Cityofalabaster.com),specifically pledges 1 per-cent of the municipal gen-eral sales and use tax to theSchool Board “through thelast maturity date of theSeries 2014 Warrants.”

The Council vote wasnot unanimous, however,and some elected officialsexpressed concerns aboutthe length of the commit-ment. Councilman RussellBedsole voted against thepledge, whileCouncilwoman Stacy

Rakestraw chose to abstain. Mayor Marty Handlon

issued her own statement,voicing financial concernswith the pledge.

“Research reveals thatthe school systems inwhich we might aspire tobe compared to receivefunding by the sure andsteady stream of ad val-orem taxes, not the everfluctuating and volatilesales tax,” Handlon wrote.

Despite those concerns,however, the fundingpledge passed, giving theSchool Board’s plan for anew high school the back-ing it needed to move for-ward. For Alabaster stu-dents, that means a newhigh school should besomewhere not too far offin the future. And as usual,it’s a great day to be aWarrior!

National Night Out is anationwide event that’sheld annually on the firstTuesday in August. It wasstarted in 1984 by theNational Association ofTown Watch as a means ofpromoting local involve-ment in the fight againstcrime.

According to theNational Association ofTown Watch website

(www.natw.org), the firstyear of the event involvedsome 2.5 million people. Inthe thirty years since, it’sgrown to include over 37million people annually,including participants inall 50 states and at militarybases around the world.

Locally, the event fea-tures a variety of lawenforcement organizationsthat set up tables to displayvarious tools of the tradeor pass out informationabout their activities. Theyusually also bring a num-ber of emergency vehiclesfor people to inspect, frompatrol cars and fire trucksto military vehicles andboats.

In the past, participat-ing organizations haveincluded the AlabasterPolice Department,Alabaster Fire and RescueService, the Helena Police

According to CoryThomas, one of Target’sstore managers, this year’sevent will be in the Targetparking lot, to the left of thestore’s entrance.

On Saturday, June 28,Alabaster residents flockedto Veterans Park inAlabaster for “CelebrateAmerica,” an evening offamily-friendly fun inhonor of IndependenceDay.

The event, which hasbecome a popular way tocelebrate the Fourth ofJuly, is produced byKingwood Church in part-nership with the City ofAlabaster.

This year’s event fea-tured lots of activities forthe family, including aKids Zone for the children,plenty of great food from avariety of local vendorsand a massive fireworksshow to top off theevening.

According to KingwoodEducation Pastor BennyCunningham, the fireworksshow is produced eachyear by Pyro Productions,which is the same companythat does Thunder on the

Mountain in Birmingham.The Celebrate Americashow is unique, however,in terms of how close theviewers are to the show.

“Because of the proxim-ity of the launching of thefireworks, it an amazingexperience,” saidCunningham.

Celebrate America hasgrown considerably overthe last few years, becom-ing one of the most popu-lar Independence Dayevents in Shelby County.According to Cunningham,that success is due in largepart to the close coopera-tion with the City ofAlabaster.

“The event is made pos-sible because of a partner-ship with the City ofAlabaster and KingwoodChurch. The church worksclosely with the City, espe-cially Parks and Rec.,Alabaster Fire Departmentand Alabaster PoliceDepartment to make the

event a success,” saidCunningham.

Cunningham alsocredited the many volun-teers who work to sup-port the event each year.An estimated 250 volun-teers from the church con-tribute to the event, help-ing with everything fromparking to setting up andtaking down the musicstage.

“The church provideshundreds of volunteers toserve as manpower tomake the big day possi-ble,” said Cunningham.

One of the big drawsof the event is the varietyof food vendors that par-ticipate, and this year wasno different. A few of thevendors included Jim ‘NNick’s Bar-B-Q, Kona Ice,Publix Deli, Mi PuebloSupermarket, Little Italy’sPizza, Zou’s Kitchen,Champy’s, Steak ‘n Shakeand Chubb’s Grub Station.

The event also featured

live music and a movie onthe big screen.

In just its fourth year,the event has become one ofthe largest outdoor festivalsin Shelby County. Last year,an estimated 10,000 peopleattended the event.

THE ARC OF SHELBY COUNTY WINS AWARDS The Arc of Shelby

County and several of itspartners were recentlyhonored at the 2014Alabama APSE & ACDDConference in Mobile. Theannual conference, whichis held by the Associationfor Persons SupportingEmployment First, tookplace June 18-20 at theRenaissance RiverviewPlaza Hotel.

The awards were pre-sented at a recognition cer-emony on Thursday, June 19, where The Arc ofShelby County was pre-sented with the Jim GreenAgency of the Year Award.

“We were thrilled,”said Karen Stokes, theexecutive director of TheArc of Shelby County. “Itwas quite an honor. Theaward is named for anindividual who was fromThe Arc of Tuscaloosa

County and actually beganone of the early employ-ment programs in the stateof Alabama. So to knowwho Jim Green was andwhat he did for supportedemployment services inAlabama, it was incredibleto us to win that award.“

Several of the group’slocal partners were alsohonored for their contribu-tions to supported employ-ment, including theCandlewood Suites (SmallBusiness of the YearAward), Thomas Findlayof Thomas Andrew Art(Best Practices Award) andRosia Dowdell(Family/Support of theYear).

The Arc of ShelbyCounty is a nonprofitorganization that servesindividuals with develop-mental disabilities andtheir families. The awards

they received at the APSEconference specificallyrelate to their involvementwith helping adults withdevelopmental disabilitiesfind employment.

“We’re a nonprofitorganization that serveschildren and adults withdevelopmental disabilities.There are a whole range ofdisabilities that fall intothat category. We havelifespan services. We pro-vide early intervention forchildren, birth to agethree, and employmentservices for adults,” saidStokes.

According to theAlabama APSE website(www.al-apse.org), theAlabama Chapter of APSEis part of a national organ-ization that has over 5,000members in 31 states. Itsmission is to promoteemployment opportunities

for individuals with dis-abilities through educa-tion and other forms ofsupport.

In addition to theawards presentation, the2014 conference featured avariety of continuing edu-cation opportunities forprofessionals in the dis-ability arena, e.g., coun-selors, social workers, etc.

“It’s an excellent con-ference,” said Stokes. “Weemploy six employmentspecialists who work inthat particular program,so it’s a really good pro-fessional opportunity forthem to be there for thatconference.”

Recently theBirmingham AudubonSociety hosted an intro-ductory birding class atAlabaster’s LimestonePark. The beginner birdwalk, which drew approxi-mately 60 people, gavenovice birdwatchers achance to see a variety ofdifferent birds in a whollyunique spot.

“It went real well,” saidKenneth Wills, a memberof the BirminghamAudubon’s conservationcommittee. “We hold theseperiodically throughoutthe year at different placesaround Birmingham. Ithink the last three springswe’ve done one atLimestone Park during thelate winter/early spring,which is a good time tocatch migrant birds com-ing through.”

According to Wills, the

BIRDWATCHERS FLOCK TO PARKgroup was able to see avariety of birds, includinggreat egrets, great blueherons, red-tailed hawks,coots, Canadian geese,blue-winged teal, sand-pipers and meadowlarks.He said the area is specialbecause it offers a uniquecombination of differenthabitats in one location.

“It’s one of the bestbirding spots around inBirmingham because youhave grasslands and wet-lands. That’s somethingyou don’t have in mostplaces,” said Wills. “It’sjust a great place to takepeople, and there are easybirds to show peoplebecause they’re biggerbirds like the great egretsand the herons.”

The crowd of new bird-ers included adults andchildren alike.

“Anybody could show

up,” said Wills. “If folksdidn’t have binoculars wehad extra sets. We set upspotting scopes, so the kidscould look through them. “

According to Wills, thegroup visited several dif-ferent spots at the park inorder to take advantage ofthe diversity.

“We walked around dif-ferent parts of the park. Weflushed some snipe out ofthe wetland,” he said. “Wedidn’t just stay on the plat-form.”

Limestone Park, whichis located off Highway 31just past Saginaw Pipe, fea-tures a birding platformthat overlooks a large wet-land. Members of theAudubon Society have alsoinstalled birdhouses at var-ious points around thepark to attract birds.

Those in attendancealso got a special treat

when a rehabilitated birdwas released back into thewild. The bird had beentreated for an injury at theAlabama Wildlife Center atOak Mountain State Park.

“One of our volunteersnamed Greg Harber, hebrought a male bobwhitequail that had gotteninjured,” said Wills. “Hereleased that on the site,and the kids all got towatch it.”

Wills said the group willbe holding a work day inthe future for anyone thatwants to pitch in. He saidthey will probably meet atthe site at 8 a.m. and workfrom 9 to 11.

A NATURE TREK AT THE BEACH BY DAVID FRINGS

If the Alabama beach-es are on your vacation listthis summer, you maywant to include a naturetrek on your itinerary. GulfShores and Orange Beachwere not always coveredwith high-rise condos,restaurants, and souvenirshops. If you would like toexperience the Alabama

beaches of years past, thenthe Bon Secour NationalWildlife Refuge should benumber one on your list.The 7,000 acre refuge,named as one of the 10 nat-ural wonders of Alabama,is located on the road toFort Morgan. The refugeprovides habitat that sup-ports migrating birds, theendangered Alabama beachmouse, and nesting sea tur-tles. Habitats found on therefuge include beaches,sand dunes, scrub forest,

fresh and saltwater marsh-es, freshwater swamps,and upland forest. Thename “Bon Secour” comesfrom the French and trans-lates to “Safe Harbor.” BonSecour is certainly a safeharbor for wildlife habitatsthat are now missing inmost areas of the AlabamaGulf coast. The protectedhabitat supports over 370species of birds during thespring and fall migrationsat the refuge.

I was impressed withthe beach and dune habi-tats at the refuge. Theyremind me of the GulfShores that I visited as ayoung boy in the late 50’sand early 60’s. The snow-white beaches transform tothe rolling dune habitatwith wind-swept juniper,scrub oaks, and sea oats.Sea oats are an importantplant for beach conserva-tion since their deep rootshold the sand in place andreduce erosion by windand water. This section ofbeach has very little devel-opment which makes foran enjoyable visit whetheryou want to soak up therays or look for rays in thecrystal clear surf. If yougrow tired of the beach,there are shaded hikingtrails that twist their waythrough the scrub forestand other habitats. If youhead for the trails, don’tforget to pack insect repel-lent for those biting mos-quitos and deer flies. Formore information on BonSecour, visitwww.fws.gov/bonsecour/

Other interesting natureopportunities include WeeksBay Reserve which is locat-ed west of Foley on MobileBay. Weeks Bay has aninterpretive center, walkingtrails, and a raised walkwayoverlooking a pitcher bog.The bog supports severalspecies of carnivorousplants, including pitcherplants and sundews. Theyare also home to delicatespecies of native orchids.Need I say that wildlife andwildflower photo-ops

abound! The preserve is ahot spot for a high diversityof native wildlife, especial-ly birding and butterflywatching. For more infor-mation on Week’s Bay visitnerrs.noaa.gov/Reserve.aspx?ResID=WKB.
